This is important to keep in mind because the images that are being touted in progress both in the development blogs, past and present, are likely to change when compared to the final product. With that in mind, Barriga also pointed out that whenever they release screenshots of areas that look highly polished, there are few reasons to consider a change unless something unexpected comes

The first hints that the Druid would be added to Diablo 3 were not mere conspiracy theories by hopeful fans, but deliberate clues added into the Public Test Realm of the game, which a developer then hinted at for players to find through social media. Diablo 3 content-creator superstar Rhykker goes into detail on this matter, beginning with the Muddied Parchment as one such clue, reading "The words are illegible from the elements and what appear to be claw mar

Camps are another feature of the open world that will permanently change how players access and develop the environment. These locations can be important for a broad range of reasons but are overrun by enemies when first discovered. Players will need to clear out these areas completely, and only when cleaned will they become friendly outposts with NPCs and waypoint locations for fast travel. This should be a great storytelling device to show the gradual reclaiming of Sanctuary from the forces of evil, though it is not yet clear how this will be impactful for endgame cont

As Emperor of the Terran Dominion, Mengsk would probably spend his time spreading propaganda on TikTok if he had a channel. What’s worse, as evident in StarCraft 2 , this guy has a really nasty habit of having poor security and would probably end up getting hac

Players hoped to see the Druid eventually released in an expansion pack in Diablo 3 , and hints were scattered throughout the game that led to nothing materializing on the matter. Problems with the auction house likely led to the cancellation of any plans to bring back the class there, and so players are understandably excited to see it return once ag

Diablo 4 will take players back to Sanctuary, a land that has been stuck in the middle of battles between Heaven and Hell in the past, and is now being threatened by the return of Lilith. Players who pre-order Diablo 4 will not only receive pets, mounts, and cosmetic sets, but they'll be able to return to Sanctuary earlier than players who don't pre-order. Pre-orders give players access to open beta, and the closed beta for Diablo 4 leaked endgame footage , which could help players decide if they want to spend money early for the game, or wait until release and read more revi

The popularity of Baldur's Gate gave rise to several CRPGs in its heyday, with a bunch of modern titles also — knowingly or otherwise — taking inspiration from this series to make their world feel more reactive and important for the player. So, any gamer who wishes to relive the golden age of role-playing would be interested in the following titles, all of which have replicated the formula of Baldur's Gate (or, at least, some aspects of it) to great succ

A major part of development in Diablo IV requires the team to have access to methods of quickly and easily testing designs in game to see if they work, or if they need to be scrapped entirely. To do this, blocking out, or "grayboxing" levels lets the team create areas with only the most basic of visual components to try out their id

Shapeshifting was also confirmed as being not only available, but a playstyle that can be permanently used if players would like to always be in Bear form. Finally, it appears that a summoner build will be the third focus of the Druid’s abilities. This is likely true because it was a popular, though not overly effective build for Diablo 4 items 2 , and because the companions were referenced so often at Blizz

This is because he has a nightly curse from Dracula, and is forced to live out the rest of his life punching walls for meat. He would be too busy fighting off the stronger enemies in the evening, rather than putting together a well-produced video for the masses to en

Given the emphasis on the "shared world" aspect of Diablo IV , it's inevitable that the game will have online multiplayer components designed to keep fans playing as consistently as possible. That's another facet of gaming that saw MTX creep in, and players are worried things will get more aggressive in

Judging by how long Breen’s video messages are in Half-Life 2, we can only imagine how long his TikTok videos would be as he drones on and on. Thank goodness TikTok wasn’t around when this classic sequel was relea

The punishing combat and a wondrous sense of exploration and discovery make FromSoftware's masterpiece a blast to play through in every way. The deep and complex story of this game is gradually unveiled through item descriptions, NPC interactions, and environmental cues, producing a unique experience where the story isn't forced down a player's thr
